Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
As the disease spreads in Africa the probability of more infected people getting off a plane a plane in the US will rise accordingly.
I mentioned this phenomenon yesterday. The language is subtly being ramped up from “Hey, no problem” to “Well, there could be very limited problems in isolated situations” to “We think there could be a problem” to “We don’t know WTF we don’t know, so yes, it’s time to panic. And we warned you!”
Before the last statement, you will see the elites running to a bolt hole.
Which may not save them.
“Rethink”???
Isn’t it their job to have ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT it???
What the hell do they spend millions of dollars on?
Getting their buddies rich.
These assholes are being eaten alive across the entire blogosphere, and now even the NY Slimes and WaPo are on board with halting inbound flights from West Africa.
I’ve yet to look at it, but I heard O’Reilly came unglued about the West African flight thing last night.

I can only imagine what their internal poll numbers are telling them about what this is doing to them across the board in the upcoming election, which btw, has already started in Colorado.
They aren’t “controlling” or “preventing” infectious disease. The only reason this organization exists is to get funding for stupidity.
Damn good point! What are we paying these idiots for? It seems they move as every point of action is something fresh and unknown. News flash—this ain’t a dose of the space clap from Rigel IV, dammit! If these government entities are proving to be so ineffectual, why are they continuing to consume our treasure and returning nothing but confusion and inaction? Reminds me of the big-talkers from high school who talked big game but did nothing worth a hoot in hell when the gun went off!
Finding out why lesbos are fat.
The LA Times, certainly a voice for Democrats, admits today that only 85% of Ebola victims ever run a fever. The other 15% do not, so all the temperature checks at the airports will not guarantee that Ebola will not get into the country.
We have been lied to by government hacks once again. No wonder people are fed up.
WHY ARE WE NOT BANNING FLIGHTS FROM INFECTED COUNTRIES????
Sorry for the caps but this is insanity!
“Getting their buddies rich. “
No doubt a pandemic can make billions for political buddies.
“Frieden, you’re doing a heck of a job.”
O’Reilly really did become unhinged... not a rant, but pure anger.
I would like to see the head of the CDC go visit the nurse in her isolation ward wearing the same gear the hospital has been advised is “protocol”
or wait, would Mr Friedan be in a full spacesuit with contained filtered air supply?
Enquiring minds want to know
Because if they ban the flights from the infected countries ( well, actually passengers from those flights because I don't think there are any direct flights ), then the next logical step would be to close the southern border to keep out the infection, because certainly they will come in through Central America if they can't get in any other way. That is the last thing Obola wants to do.
